Drag is typically minimised where possible, as it has no purpose in making flight simpler, better or more efficient.

How do aerodynamics effect paper planes?
Paper airplanes are effected by aerodynamics just as anything else in the air is. Drag is encountered, and air resistance is related to this.
What is some inclined planes you use everyday?
Some inclined planes would be a wheelchair ramp, or a binder.
Why are planes wings different shapes when looking from above?
Wings that are straight-edged are stable at low airspeeds. However, they produce a lot of drag and limit the airspeed. Wings that are swept back have less drag and are capable of greater speed, but they are unstable at low speed.
What fuels a plane?
The fuel that planes use is called Kerosene.
What are planes use for now?
They are used for taking people overseas and fighting TAHA!
Can helicopter drag be eliminated?
No aircraft can totally eliminate drag but the design and materials its made of can reduce the effect. That's why you see a high speed planes with a smooth skin they use flush rivets to smooth out the air flow across the surface.
Which ancient people used inclined planes to drag heavy stones?
the Egyptian people
What are the four forces that act on planes?
Lift (up)Thrust (forward)Gravity (down)Drag (backward)
Why are the wings of some planes bent up at the tips?
These are called winglets. They reduce drag therefore increase lift.
What forces make an airplane fly?
Thrust and Lift. Gravity and drag make planes more difficult to fly.
How did Ameila Earhart use math on the planes?
How did Amelia Earhart use math on the planes
How do architects use coordinate planes?
architects use coordinate planes to graph where they want the rooms to be
Why is th tip of the rocket made pointer?
The tip of a rocket is pointy to increase aerodynamics and reduces drag. For example, if a rocket had a flat end, it would create more drag and slow the rocket down. It's also the same for planes too.
What is the use of jet planes?
Jet planes can be of many types and some perform better than piston planes.
How do planes fly with all their weight?
A combination of the thrust of the engines and the lift of the wings overcoming the drag of air resistance and the pull of gravity.
Why are wings used on racecars if they produce lift on planes?
If that wing is turned upside down, it increases drag instead of lift. Race cars use this increased downward force to give them more traction at higher speeds.
Be able to identifiy modes of transportation cars planes trains that have less drag using pictures provided Explain why they have less drag?
How do you expect anybody to answer this question when you don't provide any examples of the pictures you are describing?
